About
About A Coruña
A Coruña is a city and municipality in Galicia, Spain. With a population of 249,255, it is the 2nd-largest city in Galicia behind Vigo.
"A Coruña" may mean crown or colony. The oldest known human settlement was from 3rd century BC at Castro de Elviña a few km south, but perhaps there was something similar on the site of the old town that has been obliterated. This Cidade Vella was at the south end of a tombola island that became welded to the mainland by build-up of material along an isthmus.
